Today sipping on some Appleton Estate V/X, this one has a nice vanilla note, kinda floral, slightly spicy, sweet, also a nice cherry note. Medium finish, pretty smooth. Another awesome rum.
Cheers!

OK..No serious discussions about rum could be complete without mentioning one of the most fabled rum in the history , one also that is, unfortunately, poorly known ... Rhum Barbancourt, from Haiti .. Made the same way with the same ingredients from the same provenance since 1761 .. No change even the barrel where the rum matures (oak I believe come ftrom the same forest) and are made the same way. The biggest problem for this rum is that the people in charge refuses steadfastly and with good reason to change anything about this rum... The leve lof production could have been increased by changing some ingredients (The Sugar Cane for example) or the way the sugar juice is distilled or the way it matures and where it matures .. To no avail.. They have changed nothing and for the good of it .. One of the best rum, ever and from any connoisseur likely the finest rum in the whole world ... Their top of the Line ; "Reserve du Domaine" is aged for 15 years !! The one below the "Cinq Etoiles" will shame any other rum you wish to name.
Rhum Barbancourt is more a Cognac that would have been made of Cane Sugar than a simple rum .. should be sipped for best results in a cognac or Brandy glass
I brought Steve (OB) some and although Steve is not a Rum drinker he could tell you how flavorful and potent this rum ..is ... An explosion of flavor ..
I don't drink but have tasted it of course and am from Haiti... Seriously, try to get a hold of it ..I promise you will be hooked ...
